Species Tree Inference by Minimizing Deep Coalescences
Figure 5
Optimal and sub-optimal trees inferred under the MDC criterion for the Apicomplexan data set.
A The optimal (species) tree inferred by our method for the Apicomplexan data set; this tree requires 440 deep coalescences to reconcile all 268 gene trees. The two sub-optimal species trees with 469 and 542 deep coalescences are shown in B and C, respectively. The value on each branch is the numbers of extra lineages within that branch, when reconciling all 268 gene trees.
